Dokan Kits Vendor Media Manager: how to activate and use it

This guide explains two things:

1. How to activate your license.
2. How to set up and use Vendor Media Manager.

All setting names below match the exact labels in the plugin UI.

Step 1: Activate your license

1. Go to Plugins → Installed Plugins.
2. Make sure Dokan Kits Vendor Media Manager is active.
3. Complete the Freemius prompt if shown.
4. Click the plugin’s license/account link (such as Activate License, Account, or Upgrade).
5. Enter your license key or sign in to the Freemius account used for purchase.

After successful activation, you should see Vendor Media Manager with a Premium Feature badge in Dokan Kits settings.

Step 2: Open the feature settings

1. Go to WP Admin → Dokan Kits.
2. Open Features.
3. Click the Vendor tab.
4. Find Vendor Media Manager.

You’ll also see this section description:

Control how vendors interact with their uploaded media files. Enable the feature and define granular upload and deletion permissions.

Step 3: Configure the settings

Enable Vendor Media Manager

• Turn this on to show the media manager to vendors.
• If this is off, vendors will not see the feature.

Allow Vendors to Upload Files

• Turn on if vendors should upload files from their dashboard.
• Turn off for view-only access.

Allow Vendors to Delete Their Files

• Turn on if vendors should be able to delete their own uploads.
• Turn off if files should stay protected from deletion.

Restrict to Own Uploaded Files

• Recommended: keep this on.
• Vendors will only see files they uploaded.

Allowed File Types

• Optional.
• Add a comma-separated list (for example: image/jpeg, image/png, application/pdf).
• Leave empty to use default WordPress allowed types.

Maximum Upload Size (MB)

• Optional.

What vendors will see

When enabled, vendors get a new menu item in their dashboard:

• Media Manager

On that page they’ll see:

• Title: My Media Files
• Subtitle: Browse, upload, and manage the files you have uploaded to this marketplace.
• Upload panel: Upload a New File (only if uploads are allowed)
• Button: Upload File
• File panel: Your Files
• Action buttons: View / Download and (if allowed) Delete

If no files exist, they’ll see:

• You have not uploaded any files yet.

Quick setup examples

• Disable the feature entirely: turn off Enable Vendor Media Manager
• Vendors can only view files: turn off Allow Vendors to Upload Files
• Vendors can upload but not delete: turn on uploads, turn off Allow Vendors to Delete Their Files
• Best privacy setup: keep Restrict to Own Uploaded Files on

If you don’t see Vendor Media Manager

• Confirm the addon is active in Plugins.
• Confirm the license is activated successfully.
• Recheck under Dokan Kits → Features → Vendor.
